Make a home; make a home in me.

Salisbury Cathedral, 2008

We gathered together with a group of friends from school tonight for the second round of musical lectio divina and contemplative spiritual engagement. We each wrote our own prayer and then passed them out at random. Here is the one I received:

Make a home.

Make a home in me.

Make me a home.

Teach me to trust you on the journey, as I carry home within me.

Teach me to trust you as I take root.

As the seeds we sow die and are raised again, over and over.

Give me people.

Give me places.

Give me work.

Give me Life.

Give me you.

Take our dreams and desires and hopes and fears. 

May we become a home to the homeless until we all go home.
